Set within a secluded plot in Crystal Palace, this impressive home boasts a wraparound garden and expansive living spaces. The current ground floor layout, which includes a self-contained flat with its own entrance, comprises three large receptions, a kitchen and dining room, a study with kitchenette, and two cloakrooms. The first floor provides seven bedrooms, a dressing room and three bathrooms. A wealth of striking original detail has been retained throughout the house including ornate fireplaces, ecclesiastical-style windows, grand bays, decorative coving, high skirting, picture rails, and high ceilings. Additional benefits include a gated driveway, detached garage, generous front and rear gardens, plus an outbuilding which could serve as a fantastic garden kitchen / BBQ area. The property has been occupied until recently and with a degree of modernisation and sympathetic refurbishment has the potential to create a truly unique and stunning family home.
